TransformerConfigurationException...Could not compile stylesheet

Question

So far my XSLT stylesheet was executed in operations mapping without problems.
However I had to make some changes (e.g. adding some additional xsl:choose elements) and now I get the following compilation error:
TransformerConfigurationException occured when loading XSLT xxxxxxx; details: Could not compile stylesheet
I develop and change the XSLT externally using XML Spy and there I could run a test transformation without problems or errors.
Only after reimporting as IA archive and selecting the new version in operations mapping I get the error.
How is this possible? How can I debug to find the root cause for the error?

Answer 1

Hello,
what I have done is to add an additional <xsl:choose> to an already existing <xsl:choose> in the <xsl:otherwise> branch at several locations. Example below.
I hope that there was not typo somwhere else, however what is very strange is that XML Spy says that the XSLT is well-formed and a test transformation executes successfully too.
For that XSLT it is not such a big problem, because I can roll-back to the previous version but I am really concerned if you build a big XSLT from scratch in XML Spy an after import in PI you get a compilation error. So it would be really good to find a root cause for this.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="RET_DATE">
  <xsl:attribute name="nullFlavor"><xsl:value-of select="RET_DATE"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="RET_DATE_VALUE='00000000'">
             <xsl:attribute name="nullFlavor"><xsl:text>NA</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
             <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="RET_DATE_VALUE"/></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>  
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
